the more info i hear the more insane it is that he's alive (and has two legs)

i don't really understand how getting in the cab was going to stop the plow from sliding sideways, seems like kind of a lost cause at that point, but i guess in high pressure situations you don't always think through stuff

Yah I get in his situation he could only react. Let’s be honest… he probably has done similar stunts throughout his career. But those are highly supervised and protected. His adrenaline probably kicked in and he went on autopilot. His autopilot is just a lot different from most of ours.

Yeah. It sounds like he just saw that it was going towards his nephew and logic went out the window.

the fact that he stepped on the moving track to try to get back inside oooof. He really is very lucky to be alive.

Wait, did we get a leg update and I missed it?

[funhouse]

he's uploaded a couple pics with both legs (sadly) attached. how functional they are is a different question but from the sound of things the impact to the legs was not the biggest issue he had whatsoever. so a disappointing ending to the story really

[possiblewerf]

why are you wishing for someone to become disabled?

[missyxxmisch]

um.........

[pretty_angel]

We did get a leg update and you missed it!

ETA forgot the link!

[pa0r_ple]

I guess I missed it when I was in Texas but I'm honestly shocked that he has both legs still

[deja_vu822]

not even a cast anywhere to be seen on the legs! it's wild

[raeshizzle]

I wonder if they leave limbs cast-less following surgery to keep access to the wounds

[scarygibberish]

I'm honestly SHOCKED

[theblackwidow]

They probably have to wait for the swelling to go down?

[bet_on_me]

My only completely non-educated thought on it is that the leg in the air doesn't really look like it was hurt, and the leg that's covered is probably a total mess of healing incisions and maybe pins/rods from surgical reconstruction, and a cast at this point would do more harm than good while it's so swollen?

My MIL wiped out on ice and broke her wrist, and the ER doc she saw first just set it and put it in a cast before the swelling went down. Then the swelling went down and the cast was completely ineffective for immobilizing her wrist, so it healed wrong and they had to surgically break and re-set it.

his left leg seems to be bandaged, if it was injured and he had to get stitches I don't think they can put it in a cast.

also my nephew broke his femur years ago and he didn't get a cast.

[waxandstrings]

he might have been thinking he'd try to steer it away from his nephew or maybe even pull the brake somehow
